cleaning 12v lego track

Hello lego fans.

New to the forum and would appreciate some advice please.
I have over the years accumulated lots of 12v classic track for a layout I will
soon start building.

Wasn't apparent unit I just cleaned all the track the various degrees of
colour discolouration.
Sleepers are ok, just the rails.

Any recommendations on how I can clean all the track and preserver the original
colour.

Picture of two of the trains and some wagons.

Cheers,
Ed.

Most supermarkets in the U.S. will accept plastic bags for recycling—including
resealable baggies (someone correct me if I am wrong).

You also could try to find someone local who will take them, as it's generally
cheaper to buy new ones than to ship them somewhere.

Thanks for all the replies everyone, I really appreciate all of the help.

If I was to sell the parts individually, is there an easy way to tell what era
the bricks are from, or is it best to give a rough guess? As I mentioned in the
first post almost all of the bricks are older than me, so I'm not so confident
that I'll be able to distinguish the eras by myself.

Also is there a way to find a fair price for older pieces, since the 6 month
sale average will be mostly newer bricks, or should I try to come up with prices
myself?
Thank you again for all the advice everyone, it means a lot to me!

The only way you can know what set a common part comes from is if it's assembled
with at least 2 other parts (see https://www.bricklink.com/catalogIn.asp?viewMulti=Y
). My current LEGO bin contained several small assemblies I've been able
to attribute to specific sets, mostly ones I'd already identified. It helped
with the process of sorting parts between sets.

In General, stearns writes:

I do it like that too - I try to find rare pieces in the heap, stickered ones,
figures and others that only came in one set, and try to collect the parts for
those sets. Then fill up partial sets I already have. The rest I sell as separate
bricks, I don't think there's a (reasonable) way to find out where they
came from, unless you know the sets very well yourself.

Selling sets and selling parts isn't the same job, it doesn't require

have to come up with a whole different sorting system to separate the parts for
sale and the parts I keep for future builds.

All true, but the OP's store already has parts listed for sale.

At the very least it's a good idea, if completing the sets is difficult,
to separate out the minifigs before trying to sell the parts in one batch.

I had the same issue with the previous LEGO bin I purchased off Craigslist. What
I did is start a ziploc bag for most of the identified sets, sort the parts between
them using wanted lists to record how many of each part I have.

Once I was done, I checked how expensive it would be to complete each set, and
I discarded any set that would have been almost as or more expensive to complete
than buy Used. From 20 sets initially, it boiled down to just 8.

I've put the stickered parts of the discarded sets for sale since I knew
I wouldn't complete these sets. I've kept the remaining parts for the
sets I identified in the current bin, where I have had way more luck, with completion
rates around 80% including parts I took from the previous bins I sorted.

In General, stansbrickstore writes:

I'm just wondering if anyone can give me any advice if they've had a
similar problem.
A few years ago I bought a box of very old lego and I'm currently trying
to split it into sets to sell on Bricklink. Most of the sets are much older than
me, so I don't know any of them very well.

Basically it's a medium sized box of random parts from someone's collection,
the problem is that I'm really struggling to form incomplete sets from the
parts, as it seems that there is no more than 50% of any set.

For example I have a boat, which I believe is from set 314 (1976) because of
the stickers attached, but not many of the other pieces.
I also have one of the big red boat pieces from set 7244 (2005) and the sticker
sheet, but not many other pieces.
I also have lots of pirate minfigs, some of which I think have come from set
6258 (1992), but I'm really struggling to tell what set these come from as
lots of the pirates are present in multiple sets.

What I'm trying to ask is, does anyone have any experience with a similar
issue and if so do you think it would be better for me to continue trying to
split the box into sets, or should I sell the pieces all together in one big
bundle? Has anyone got tips for sorting used lego into sets?

Any advice is really appreciated, and I can provide photos if anyone is interested?
Many thanks, Stan.

If you know you're missing a lot of parts (especially the more rare parts),
it would not make any sense to try to acquire the missing pieces unless you frequently
buy lots from a similar era and don't mind holding onto them and eventually
completing. That being said, it's a lot more work and the sets themselves
will sell slower than individual pieces and figs.

I'd strongly recommend just listing figs and rare parts separately (identifying
the likely sets makes this a lot easier).

I use my tablet to pull orders and its meh, could be better, but I've used

I end up just doing "lego" + "set number" + "bricklink" in google to just skip

It depends what you are buying. If just minifigures, then a normal to larger
smart phone screen would be fine if there was a decent interface. Similarly,
if buying from an already set up wants list, a smaller screen is fine.

I understand, grading would be difficult if it was on a mandated scale, but each
store should be able to differentiate between Used (Like New), Used (Fine) and
Used (Poor), etc. Vast majority of stores don't add comments so buyers have
no idea of the quality until it's actually received.

Exactly. New, you part out and list an entire set all at once. Used, you track

If you're parting out a new set, yes; the same doesn't hold true for
adding Pick-A-Brick to a store or other parts bought as new for the purpose of
reselling.

It's extremely obvious that you would have to find individual parts in the
catalog here when adding used parts to a store. It's been that way from
the beginning. I just don't understand why OP was getting upset with that
method. What does he expect—a BL scanner to identify used parts?

David

Adding a part to your BO inventory is a 3-click, same-page process once you've
found the part. I get the feeling that BL has a far more convoluted method, but
I use BrickStock and Bricksync so I wouldn't know.

But I read the OP as meaning that all used bricks are treated the same; there's
no grading built in to the system. Everything is binary, either new or used.

Exactly. New, you part out and list an entire set all at once. Used, you track

Exactly. New, you part out and list an entire set all at once. Used, you track
down and list a single piece. Then the next one is the same piece, but you have
to list it differently because you want to note differences in condition and
price them accordingly. The only reason I can figure that people can make any
money at all on Used is they can often get hugely undervalued lots on sites like
Craigslist or by hitting up garage sales. Or, you know, you can price it higher
than New and hope people will buy it without paying attention because "Used is
always less expensive".

(Just in case: You get Classic “By Shop” by clicking “Classic” then “By Shop”
on the menu bar in the WL page.)

It shows the list of stores ordered by the number of lots or items they have.
That’s exactly what you get on the (new) “Buy” page just after loading it (when
it works

).

What Classic doesn’t have:
1. no Auto-Select, no Easy-Buy,
2. no way to select items to look for, it’s whole WLs or nothing,
3. no way to quickly see exactly what items each store has without opening the
store,
4. no way to select a store / preselect items to buy (thus removing the items
from the list of items to look for and updating the list of stores),
5. and undoubtedly other things I don’t remember right now.

Well, at least, you still have a list of stores with items in your WL….

Okay, I get how we all love that nothing ever changes and that we love to keep
stuff the way it is but seriously, the guy is absolutely right!!!
And I am sure that this is the reason why there are about 100 people in this
forum when the site is used by thousands!
Even though you can click on a million buttons to make it look like you want
it to, it should look like that from the start and not with clicking links on
the bottom of a page every single time you want to read something.

The studio beta forum is what a normal forum should look like. It's been
invented... probably about 25 years ago!

All you have to do is set up a page with the setting you like and then save it
as a favorite up on your favorites bar and you wont have to keep clicking on
the options. Just do it once and all is well.

As far as changing the way it looks, I am all for that. I love the changes BL
has done so far. The only reason I kind of got on the guys case was because he
was complaining (with more of an attitude) about things that need to be changed
but was not even willing to see if the options he wanted already existed. He
complained even before he took just a couple of minutes to learn what options
existed.

It didn't do it for you on the old BrickLink so I am not sure how it is "WAY
more work." With the new "have" feature, which BrickLink is still fixing a few
bugs on, it's actually WAY easier to keep track of everything.

It most certainly did. After completing a purchase, there was a button to "Remove
items from Wanted List". Worked like a charm. I used it (literally) hundreds
of times.

You mean the "See items in order on wanted list" which would bring up all the
wanted list items in your order and then you could delete them if you wanted?

Thank you for your help, and thank you for having the vintage pieces I needed
to recreate my police boat from 1978. I thought I had dealt with you in the past.
I did have to turn that function on in my settings. It still doesn't do
what I expect it to. I got a chance last night to try it out. I think I'm
throwing an extreme situation at this new BUY function, and my expectations are
way too high. I'm trying to build 5 of the 7 Speed Racer vehicles. I have
them on 4 separate wanted lists. 300+ pieces in 86 lots, with identical lots
on several of them. This is what I had to go through to adjust everything....
Followed the link provided after purchase to the "Search Wanted List" page...
Manually adjusted several quantities (took notes on the partial quantities before
i placed the order). Broke the list into four pages. 100 items per page option
would have come in handy. Had to make sure I saved each individual page.
Then.. apply each of the four wanted lists (will only apply ONE list or ALL,
no option for multiple... check boxes would be handy here). Or at least I thought
so. It doesn't work correctly. I had one list selected, and it showed entries
for ALL of my wanted lists. Not just the ones present in this order. That caught
me by surprise. That wasn't very common (3 lots), but it could have been
very irritating on those future projects. After catching that, and thinking I
had a grasp on this, I realize that I had hit the delete button and had failed
to "un-check" the partial qty lots that I had just adjusted. Went back and fixed
that..
It just seems to me like all the information is there, and it's not being
used efficiently. The quantity’s that I ordered are there. I don't understand
why I can't be done with fewer steps. Not gonna mess with a "have" function.
Have and % of completion are useless to me and will surely irritate me even more.
I don't need Bricklink to keep track of what i have. If I need 20 of something,
and I buy 15 from a vendor, all I need is for the WANT qty to change to 5. I
think that’s pretty simple. I spent a couple of hours last night trying to figure
this out. I feel like I'm spending an extensive amount of time doing something
that BrickLink should be able to do in seconds. That means less time to shop
and spend money.
I do admit, this is the most complicated order I've ever made. I think my
high hopes and expectations for the BUY function coaxed me into it. It wouldn't
be this difficult if I had chosen to purchase ONLY full quantities, AND not had
so many identical lots scattered throughout several wanted lists. Then it would
work pretty similar to old version and I wouldn't be whining.

Now, you have the option of applying an order to a wanted list. On the new Wanted
List page, select the wanted list in question, and then click the Apply Order
button at the top of the list.

The "Apply Order" button seems to assume that I only order for one wanted list
at a time. Also, for some reason is does not seem to work always but I have not
tested that more.

At the same time the "Items in order on wanted list" has gained a bug and gives
incomplete results.

While I can agree with the main contents of this thread I thinkl this has the
potential to cause harm, particularly for the new buyers we are trying to get
here.
All it takes is a couple of succesful " sales " to scammers, as they will show
at the top of the page as cheapest item, and we get a lot of heat.

Just wanted to point out that you have replied to an 8 month old thread. In
the time since this thread was posted, Google has been allowed to crawl the site,
and BrickLink now shows up on the first page of results for a search of "Lego
10179". It takes you right to the catalog page, which is where I believe it
should take you.

Now they just have to do some optimizing to move BrickLink up the list a bit.
